Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 127,073, dated May 21, 1872.

Specification describing a Pickle and Cruet Stand, invented by THoMAs LEAGH, of Taunton, in the county of Bristol and State of Massachusetts.

First, the invention consists in a new picklestand, provided with a hollow seat for picklevessel, attached to and placed between two uprights, and provided also with a horizontal ilange, on which is fastened a vertical handle which straddles said hollow seat diametrically. Second, it consists in extending the said horizontal flange and recessing the extension, so as to form a compound pickle and cruet stand. Third, it consists iu combining, in one article .of table furniture, a pickle and cruet stand.

Figrue l is a side elevation; Fig. 2, View.

A represents a supporting-frame, to which a top vris attached the short and bottomed cylinder B. C is a horizontal flange extending from the top of this cylinder to a suitable distance to receive the handle D. This handle is formed of two perpendicular standards, d d, and a curved top piece, d', which may all be made in a single or in separate pieces. E is a projection branching out horizontally rfrom handies at the point of connection between the straight and curved pieces d d. It consists of a bifurcated piece with each prong, e, bent round opposite to the other, so as to form a hook on each one, and so that the two will form an open groove, d3, in ,which the fork may be entered at the small part, but will hang by the large end. F is an extension of the ilange C, recessed atf to receive the cruets.

Having thus, described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. A pickle-stand, consisting of a bottom and horizontally-anged cylinder, B C, provided with handle D, and supported on frame A, as and for the purpose described.

2. A pickle-stand, A B C D, having the horizontal flange C, with extension F recessed to receive cruets, as described.
